The more than $150 billion in funding provided in the Financial Services title of the Build Back Better Act represents the single largest investment in affordable housing in our nation’s history. These funds will expand access to affordable, accessible housing; help 294,000 households afford their rent; build, upgrade, and retrofit over 1.8 million affordable housing units; and help close the racial wealth gap through the first-ever national investments in homeownership for first-time, first-generation homebuyers.
